10-Sep-07. Rolling the dice. Edmonton Sun, 8.

Approximately 250 workers at Edmonton’s Palace Casino walked off the job yesterday in a bid to get a first contract. The union also wants to turn the strike into a debate over the way the province runs casinos. United Food and Commercial Workers Union president Doug O’Halloran says the Alberta government should impose a moratorium on the number of casinos in the province and reduce the cut it takes from them in order for employees to earn higher wages. The River Cree Resort and Casino is set to open at the end of October several kilometers to the west on the Enoch reserve.
